The seed on the
good ground are they, who with an honest and good heart, have heard the
word. They keep it and bring forth fruit with patience.
No man, when he has lighted a candle, covers it with a vessel, or puts
it under a bed. Instead he sets it on a candlestick so those who enter
in may see the light. Nothing is secret that shall not be made manifest
and nothing is hidden that shall not be known and come to light. Take
heed how ye hear: for whoever has understanding, to him more shall be
given; and whoever has not, from him shall be taken even that which he
seems to have.
Then His mother and His brothers came but could not get near Him
through the press of the multitude. Someone said to Him, Thy mother and
thy brethren stand outside desiring to see thee. Jesus said to all
those gathered, My mother and my brethren are those who hear the word
of God, and do it.
Now it came to pass. Jesus went into a ship with His disciples. He
said, Let us go over to the other side of the lake. They launched
forth. As they sailed Jesus fell asleep. There came a windstorm on the
lake. The ship filled up with water, and they were in jeopardy. They
came and woke Him and said, Master, master, we perish. Jesus arose and
rebuked the wind and the raging water. The storm ceased and there was a
calm. He said to them, Where is your faith? They wondered, What kind of
man is this! He even commands the winds and water and they obey Him.
